■Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.

■Additional clearances may be required for wall, door and floor moldings.

■Additional spacing of 1" (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

■A 120-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

■This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug.

■To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

■If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

■Do not ground to a gas pipe.

■Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the washer is properly grounded.

■Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
